OT? - An M-Go Airplane

So I am out in irvine this week because our other office has an ISO audit at the end of the week. The office is on the approach path for John Wayne Airport, so I took the opportunity to do a little planewatching (what can I say, I'm a plane nut). So imagine my surprise as I see this coming in for a landing.

I was thinking about that as I saw the plane coming in for a landing. I was thinking that we were fairly happy with Hoke, Mattison and Borges. Maybe there is another coaching void that needs to be filled. Or maybe it is here for another reason. I saw one of the limo drivers holding up a sign that said, "National Academy of Science" on it, so maybe a Professor was flown here. Who knows. At any rate, I thought it was pretty cool.

Owned by big-time U-M supporter Rich Rogel, co-chair of the Michigan Difference campaign. He lets university execs use it sometimes, especially on trips to China where he has a lot of business interests. It seems to get a mention around these parts every once in a while.

the Dominoes plane flew from Ann Arbor to Latrobe, Pa, overnight to Chicago. Chicago to Scotsdale a couple days in Scotsdale with a side trip to Las Vegas. Then flew to Dallas, Baton Rouge and Ann Arbor.

Latrobe--rumored to have spoke with Tom Bradley

Chicago--Pat Fitzgerald

Scottsdale--Gruden, Hoke etc

Las Vegas--Hoke, etc.

Dallas--coaches convention was going on that weekend

Baton Rouge--Miles

I've always figured DB met with Hoke in Vegas, possibly Scottsdale as thats where the national championship was played.

I would have called it a Lear jet but I realize there are more than just Lears in the business jet market. That would be like calling all Russian planes MiGs (they have Suck-hoi and Yack-o-lev and Tupolev).
